That table is fantastic! This project is absurdly badass.

Thanks. I spent about $30 in gold spray paint on the table. The rest was old scrap steel and some 100+year rock maple bowling alley I had laying around.
I installed my tires as well as the monstercraftsman chain tensioner. Also now the bike is a roller, and I measured my lean angle vs. ground clearance to be about 35° at full compression. Should be more than enough.
The seat pan is my first attempt at metal shaping. It will end up in the garbage, but I want to spend a few more hours tuning it just for practice.
I also measured the total bike length. 2400cm or 94.5 inches. I forgot to Measure the stock length, but I think it was around 82".
The bike is all tire, I'm happy with that..

I'm certainly no master. This is my first tubed frame and sheet metal build. I've build custom race bikes before but nothing like this.
All the time we spend chasing curvy ladies and curvy roads, why not some curves on a motorcycle? With it being a hardtail and pretty light on the front end, I don't expect much suspension travel so clearances won't change much from where they are. I wanted the bike low, but it will still be rideable, I'm not building it race pikes peak. It's a 2 stoke 500, never intended for the faint of heart.
Also the bike finally got a name. English parts keep showing up, and I used a jaguar e type as inspiration for the curves so a British name makes sense. I got arrested recently for an out if date inspection sticker and I expect this bike will be a problem maker. So I decided to go with the name "baddie" If top gear can say it why can't I?

And I will be using a wassell tank. Possibly a 3.1 gallon but I need to check on the dimensions and could also use the 2.3 gallon. Probably the Indian made ones on ebay

With so low a seat and bars high up like that, will you be able to see the road ahead of you when riding?

I too would like to see where this is going and how.Beeweldmut said:

Thanks y'all. I've been updating progress on thechopperunderground forum with more choper guys. But here is some recent updates.
I've got no problem seeing over the bars. I can't really make them much higher than the stock height or the reach gets uncomfortable. But it's
Next I have to cut up the fender and flush mount a brake light.

Modified my knockoff wassell fender with an integrated brake light housing.

Cool nonetheless.
It would have had more grinfactor stock i assume.
I dont think he will see anything but threetops anyways,500 twostroke dirtbikes have a tendency to be "airborne".Cuba Libre said:
